we've also seen widening polls in north carolina, where romney's ahead. with that being said, the victory centers remain open, and the ground game is very strong at this point. we're seeing very strong early voting as well in north carolina. and so i really do think that governor romney and his staff is going to beat president in north carolina as well, but as in every campaign, you're allocating resources to different states and it changes week by week. >> but might it be more about ohio, as ohio has become even more important? >> well, ohio's very important, wisconsin. we're seeing in pennsylvania, there was one poll that just came out that showed that romney was ahead by a few points. so, again, there's all these different battleground states in play at this point. >> so they may have shifted scenarios here at this point, saying, things are looking closer in ohio, let's rejigger. >> you have to civil right for every vote, and part of it is allocating these resources. when you have to invest resources in different areas, at this point in north carolina,

there's this new poll that is putting the president ahead of mitt romney nationally. now, within that same poll itself, it puts the president ahead of the governor on the issues of taxes, also on medicare, the two are tied on jobs. romney leading on one issue and one issue only, basically the budget and spending. in your latest argument or article, rather, you make the argument about mitt romney saying that voters don't need more mitt. what they need is core mitt. do you think we're going to see core mitt over these next three days because ohio being such a key battleground state that it is, that the president right now is leading, do you think that he can turn it around right now on this bus trip? >> you know, thomas, we keep expecting that he'll do that, and then he gets off and distracted on the latest flavor of the week or of the day. so he seems to be bouncing around and not giving a coherent cohesive message. this has been his problem throughout. now, the polls are continuing to edge more and more in obama's direction, particularly in the battleground states. bu
